What happens when we become immortal or live much longer than we do today. The challenge with cancer, a disease of aging, is that its origin is not unique, there are many reasons one can get cancer. We would be able to lengthen our live spans if we can re-engineer the length of splitting cells.ġ6:03 – For people over 40, there’s a high probability they’ll die because of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer, and suffer cognitive decline. All three seem to be controlled (until Black Swans happen) but they seem fragile.ġ2:58 – Modern Medicine has saved us from premature death, but haven’t extended our lives by that much. More power, more money, how we live forever.Ĩ:12 – Humans collectively are concerned solving three things: Famine, Plague, War.

The new agenda considers: how to become Gods. Privacy wasn’t that much of an issue.ħ:23 – Up until now the human agenda was: don’t die, procreate, protect your tribe.

Meaning is created when many people weave together a common network of stories. “Yet in truth the lives of most people have meaning only within the network of stories they tell one another. In Homo Deus, Harari summarizes what has been the source and reference of our specie decisions and make predictions on how data and algorithms will shift humans as the source of power in our history. This book can be considered a sequel of Sapiens. In this episode of Made You Think, Adil, Neil and Nat discuss Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari. In the twenty-first century, those who ride the train of progress will acquire divine abilities of creation and destruction, while those left behind will face extinction.” The main products of the twenty-first century will be bodies, brains and minds, and the gap between those who know how to engineer bodies and brains and those who do not will be far bigger than the gap between Sapiens and Neanderthals. Those who miss this train will never get a second chance. “In the early twenty-first century the train of progress is again pulling out of the station – and this will probably be the last train ever to leave the station called Homo sapiens.
